Roland and Jean Deju fled, the Japanese planned mutiny failed, and the Cadet Army attacked the French plantation owners more unscrupulously, and the Indochina Federation entered a new era of military rule. Ouyang Yun avenged the blood revenge of the fourteen cadets in an alternative way, and the French plantation owners who colluded with the Japanese took the blame, and they paid a high price for this, and half of the colonial land was "state-owned", which became the collateral used by Angpos to repay the various debts of the cadet soldiers.

Huo Huo showed great ambition to sharpen his sword, and his goal was to target the strategic resource of rubber. The Japanese need rubber, and so does the cadet army, and as the army becomes more and more modernized, the demand will increase. At present, the rubber needed by the Cadet Army mainly relies on imports from the American Philippines, but once the United States and Japan go to war and the Philippines is captured by the Japanese, then this route will be cut off. In this matter, Ouyang Yun had a plan for a long time - after Chen Ce lost his sincerity to the Xuebing Army, he immediately asked Fan Xudong to organize people to plant rubber on Hainan Island, and after nearly two years of hard work, the current rubber planting in Hainan has formed a certain scale. Of course, there is still a long way to go. The United States and Japan will go to war by the end of this year at the latest, and it will take at least five years for the rubber on Hainan Island to be harvested. Ouyang Yun was originally inclined to hoard, but after the Western Expedition, he had a new idea. This is one of the reasons why he sought control of the Indochinese Federation and became the backlash behind the French.

The Scholar Army was ordered by the Chongqing government to march westward, and to outsiders it seemed that the Scholar Army had compromised with the central government, which was a diplomatic failure. But in the eyes of Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren and others, this is an opportunity to open up the international market in southwest China.

Looking at China at present, the SEZs are the ones with the best economic development and the richest people. This has caused the following embarrassing scene: In China, in addition to the relatively good market in Fujian, Guangdong, and Qiong, the high-tech products produced by the Xuebing Army are sold in other places, and even Chongqing is actually difficult to form a scale. Seeing that the local market in Guangdong, Fujian and Qiong has become saturated, Ouyang Yun has to consider exploring new markets for the long term.

Originally, the British and French refused to allow military products to enter Southeast Asia, but now they can't help it.

Under the planning of Jiang Shuren and Niu John, a Southeast Asian economic development group headed by Fan Xudong was secretly established. The task of the group is to formulate relevant plans to help the enterprises of the cadet army dump various unsalable commodities in Southeast Asia.

The establishment of the French Restoration Army is an opportunity for the enterprises of the Cadet Military Special Zone to enter the Southeast Asian market. Although there is no mention of anything other than weapons and military cooperation in the cooperation rules signed by Ouyang Yun and Angbos, as long as the French really want to develop and strengthen the Restoration Army and want to march to the European mainland, then they will eventually be embarrassed to find that everything else in their troops has been imprinted with the mark of "MadeinGuangzhou" except for the people who are still French.

When the Cadet Expeditionary Force was steadily implementing Ouyang Yun's economic colonization plan for the Federation of Indochina, on February 11, the long-held Buddha Lao defensive line, the two warring sides finally decided the winner. After holding out for more than half a month, the British army was the first to be defeated. Then, Wan Fulin, commander of the 53rd Army, the front commander of the Northeast Expeditionary Force, decisively chose to withdraw from the battlefield when he might be attacked by the Japanese army.

The British could run away without saying hello, and the Chinese army was naturally not obliged to hold on to the end, only suffering the Thais. As a result, in addition to the 5,000 Thai troops who died in the battle, the others actually collectively surrendered their sincerity to the Japanese army, and the situation of the war in the entire Indochina Peninsula was changed in an instant.

Before the outbreak of this battle, Thailand and Japan maintained a fairly friendly relationship. In the 19th century, China, Japan, and Thailand were the only three countries in Asia that were not colonized by the West. China and Japan were able to avoid the former being too big to swallow, the latter being too strong, and Thailand, which took full advantage of the contradictions between France and Britain, thus becoming a buffer zone between the two Asian colonies.

Living in the gap between two Western powers is naturally not easy. This makes the Thais yearn to be as powerful as Japan and able to defeat a behemoth like a polar bear. After exercising a constitutional monarchy in 1939, the country began to move closer to Japan, a powerful Asian "distant neighbor", under the influence of the military regime, thus contributing to a very important "Japan-Thailand goodwill".

It is well documented that when the League of Nations condemned Japan for the Manchurian Incident, Thailand actually chose to abstain. In addition, in the past, when Japan was plagued by the ABCD siege network and lacked resources, Thailand's military cabinet at that time was very sympathetic, and not only provided Japan with a large amount of rubber and cotton fabrics in disregard of international public opinion. What is even more absurd is that it also appealed to Lao Chiang, saying that China, Japan and Thailand are all Asians and should unite against white Westerners.

All of this shows the degree of goodwill that the Thai government has toward Japan. Yamamoto led the westward expeditionary fleet into the Indian Ocean, under the banner of expelling Western colonists and establishing the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which just catered to the meaning of the Thai military. If it weren't for the fact that Wavell forced the Thais to go to war with a large army, and the Japanese actually occupied a lot of Thai land, the Thais would definitely not choose to go to war with the Japanese army.

The collapse of the Phra defensive line, the defeat of the British army and the Northeast Army, and the surrender of more than 40,000 Thai troops, which was exactly a step for the Thai Binpun cabinet at that time. When Binpun and Yamamoto Fifty-six came into contact before, they were still holding the pipa and half-covering their faces, but now they directly peel off their faces and go into battle naked.

On 13 February, the representatives of Thailand and Japan reached a so-called "military cooperation agreement" in Bangkok, and immediately more than 40,000 Thai troops captured by the Japanese army were transformed into the so-called "Greater East Asia Alliance Army." The change of flag of the Thais this time was quite thorough. The next day, more than 15,000 British troops who had just received relevant news and had not had time to evacuate the Thai border were intercepted by 10,000 Thai troops from the northwest in Saiyu. Then, before the British generals could react, more than 3,000 Japanese troops suddenly appeared in the southeast. As a result, the Japanese shouted through a loudspeaker: "You have been surrounded, surrender and do not kill!" More than 20,000 British troops really obediently laid down their arms and surrendered to the Japanese army.

The upheaval that happened in Thailand naturally did not escape the ears and eyes of the fox pupils lurking in the local area, and a sealed telegram was sent to Bobe, and Ouyang Yun almost couldn't believe his eyes after seeing it. He is not omniscient, so he does not know that there is an ambiguity between Thailand and Japan. I really can't figure out how the Thais, who were allies just now, suddenly changed their flag and became a little devil's dog, and when he thought that the Cambodian-Thai border would become the front line, and the enemy would have more than 100,000 people, his brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of pressure in his heart.

The originally simple situation suddenly became complicated, but the British army was too uncompetitive, so the burden of blocking the Japanese army fell on the shoulders of the Northeast Expeditionary Force and the Cadet Expeditionary Force.

Ouyang Yun and Zhang Shaoshuai would exchange information by telegram every day, because Thailand suddenly turned back, and there were more than 30 telegrams between them on this day. Eventually, they came to a consensus. Thailand doesn't care about him, but Burma and the French Indochina Federation must not be lost.

"Brother, my brother admires your methods, but it is too easy to fold, and the methods should be softer when dealing with the French," said the young marshal in a telegram that followed after discussing the use of troops against Japan and Thailand.

At this time, the British and Japanese media were vigorously criticizing the "atrocities" of the Cadet Army in the Federation of French Indochina, and public opinion in the world circles was also stirring up, and it was not surprising that the young marshal had heard of it. The young marshal obviously cared about the British as an ally, so he was worried that Ouyang Yun's doing this would anger the Westerners and would be detrimental to their westward expedition.

In this regard, Ouyang Yun didn't have half a dime worried. His reply was very interesting: "Dude, brother Xie Lu thank you for your kindness." Don't worry, the fist is big enough, and the truth is on my brother's side! If you are nervous, my brother suggests that you also give it a try, and the effect is very good! ”

Ouyang Yun's words are divided into three plays, and seven are serious. He didn't want to instill anything in the young marshal, but he just knew the current predicament faced by the Northeast Army and gave him an idea to solve the logistics supply problem.

When Lao Chiang originally selected the Northeast Army and the Scholar Army to form an expeditionary force to go west, he originally used the strategy of killing people with a knife. And if the knife wasn't sharp enough, he would provide it with two whetstones.

In Lao Jiang's plan, the "King of Yunnan" Long Yun and the supply problem are the two whetstones. Long Yun was assigned to be in charge of the logistics and supply of the expeditionary force, as long as he was greedy, it would definitely set off disputes between the Dian army, the Northeast Army, and the Xuebing Army. When you are a warlord, who will be a good bird, if you really make trouble, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and in that case, it will save Lao Jiang a lot of trouble. However, the development of things was beyond Lao Jiang's expectations. This time, Long Yun not only did not take the opportunity to rub the oil, but also personally inquired about the matter, and was stunned that he did not give his subordinates the opportunity to deduct the slightest.

When a plan failed, Lao Jiang had another plan and simply reduced the rated supply to one-third. In this way, Long Yun is not greedy, and the student army is not rare, but it is not enough for the Northeast Expeditionary Force.

The young marshal had already heard of such a big movement in the Indochina Federation. It happened that he encountered supply difficulties, and it was impossible to say that he was not moved, but he always had scruples in his heart and did not dare to do whatever he wanted.

The Northeast Expeditionary Force and the Xuebing Expeditionary Force entered the Indochina Peninsula almost simultaneously with the same purpose, and although they still maintained close alliances, because of the difference in concepts, the two sides had drifted apart unconsciously.
